    It is one DVD by Jillian Michaels. I have heard though that if you have Comcast, it is OnDemand.

    Starting wednesday when my son starts school i will do it between 9am & noon whenever my 6 month old takes his naps. Then on weekends I will do it 1st thing before everyone wakes up that way it is done for the day. Otherwise if for some reason i cant get it in Ill do it around 9pm after husband and kids are in bed. I have been hearing recently it is better to do a work out first thing in the morning before you eat. The theroy is if you havent ate, you will burn fat, where as if you have eating you will just burn up calories you have already consumed. Both of which are good, but me personally id like to burn any fat i have hanging around! :laugh:

    Good Afternoon Shredders!!! Well I must admit that I debated to start or not... I know I know!!! But then I remembered the very fist post on this wall about wanting people to sign up that were comitted... so I didn't want to let you down!!! It was my very first shredding experience... my arms are SO out of shape... going from pushups that i barely moved to the lefting of the weights... :sad: and the jumprope... man my claves were killing me... :frown: BUT don't worry it did not scare me away I am here to stay... although I must tell you my eatting habits haven't been the greatest lately... I hope once I get this routine down I can work on my eatting. It was nice having today off because I just worked out... During the week I haven't decided what I am going to do... morning? i am NOT a morning person :grumble: maybe at night??? I will have to figure it out. ok enough rambling

    Just finished day one, yay! I wish I could do this in the morning. However, between work and my son, that would require me being up between 4 and 430 and I was exhausted when I was doing that before. So night time it is for me! :)

    FYI for anyone who DOES NOT have a HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) most people use the Circuit Training general exercise for the Jillian Michaels DVD. For me it's almost DEAD ON for the calories burned in the 27-28 minutes I'm working out to the DVD.

    L1D1 Done!!!!!!

    I had forgotten what a butt kicking it is... i actually burned more cals per HRM then circuit training said lol and that never happens! It was only by a couple but still!!! :laugh:

    Thank you so much to those of you who wanted to skip today but didnt. I really only want a group of committed people. And being sore is no excuse to skip. Trust me, you will be sore but you push through and believe it or not, it helps!!!!

    30 days straight ladies, no going back now!!!

    Good Morning Ladies!!! I am so glad everyone finished day 1... now time for day 2!!! I enjoy reading all of your post and getting to know you gals. Great idea for us to do the little bit of info. I feel good today not sore, although when i touch my biceps I can feel a little bet of soreness!! I am at work now but I think I found a time that works... right after work at 430... Once I get Jayden from daycare we have some down time before I start dinner and Mat gets home... yep, I think that sounds like a great idea!! Have a great day ladies. I am sure I'll post again before the work day is up! I am addicted!! :bigsmile:

    How does everyone feel today? I'm a little sore (mostly legs). Also, anyone who can't do the regular push ups? I can do around 3 total then switch to modified.
